""I want you to know that decision wasn't made lightly. As we expanded from PC to console, we saw consistent trends in how players were engaging with 2XKO,""
""Ultimately, this decision reflects a shift in how we operate," he wrote. "This isn't a judgment on individual Rioters or a signal that the journey is over. We're reshaping the team to give 2XKO a more sustainable path forward.""
Riot Games cut 80 employees from the 2XKO development team shortly after the game's console release. The game moved from PC Early Access to PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X/S and reached the third most-downloaded free-to-play spot on PS4 and PS5 at launch. The title features Runeterra fighters, cell-shaded animation, and flashy combos, and it retains a passionate core audience. Overall engagement and momentum did not justify the original team size. The remaining team will continue updates and year-one competitive plans while the studio reshapes the team for a more sustainable path forward.
